Roxane II

By 22-05-2017

In ‘Roxane II’, Viviane Sassen and her muse Roxane continue writing their shared visual journal. This dynamic gallery of poses and moods touches notes at times sensual, at times tender.

The images are equally about the performances in front of and behind the camera: Sassen’s presence is perceived through her shadow and made tangible by scraps of paper that bear the imprint of her breasts.

This is a mutual portrait, an exchange in which the artist’s and the model’s individualities blur, leaving traces on each other.

As Maria Barnas writes in the poem introducing the images: “When I take a glance at ourselves, I hold my breath and see us expand in colors and clouds bursting from a mouth. Are they yours or mine?”
